<p>I am a third year Biomedical Science student of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Calgary. My background is in biology, genetics, bio and organic chemistry with a focus in Biomedical Research. My work in iGEM this summer has been a meaningful experience and involved learning  a lot more about what synthetic biology has to offer in medicine, environment, food and technology. As a Biomedical science student, I spend most of my time doing experiments in the lab and analyzing what went wrong and iGEM ethics added a very different touch to my academic background. I was inspired to join this group after taking a course in ethical issues in medical research and practice, where I learned about the vital role ethics plays from the very initiation of the planning/designing of these synthetic biological systems.

Email David on the Guelph team to discuss ethics and commercialization strategy for a GM microbe in the developing vs developed world (the Guelph project is to make golden bacteria accomplishing the same thing golden rice was meant to). His email is djohns05@uoguelph.ca ;-) Hope you don't mind that I wrote this...

I am very excited about going to MIT and present our findings!!!
